So my new kitten died after four days of owning it. I think it was malnutrition that did it. I miss little Tex. His first owner took him in from outside, apparently abandoned by the mother at too young an age. The owner gave then gave it to his neighbor, the second owner. His second owner, my friend, didn't know too much about young cats and couldn ( Read more... )

I had a nightmare. It was a combination of strange things, but the main part of the dream was scary ( Read more... )

The other day I met a woman who looked, smelled, and acted like my mother. She told me stories that I imagined my mother wanted to tell me but couldn't. After a good conversation, I gave the woman some red flowers. "Red. It's for love. These are the flowers I couldn't give my mother." And then I went on my way.

I care deeply for the social welfare. It hurts me to see it not in action ( Read more... )

I spoke to the grandmother of the little boy. She told me that his mother didn't want to be a mother. "She's 27 and still acts like a damn kid," she said, "So I took the kids. They make me feel younger."

I knew it.

When I started working as a cashier, more people noticed me because I was always up front. One such case is a little boy that comes in all the time. He came through my line with his grandmother and brother one night and said that I was very pretty and that he hoped to see me again ( Read more... )

When I signed to join, it turned out that all the spots were filled up and I couldn't join because there were not enough instruments provided for additional students. For days I cried because I really wanted to join. She did a lot of things-- just "things", I don't want to go into detail-- to ( Read more... )

Earlier this week I got a text message from someone. I didn't know who it was, so I didn't respond. A couple days later my old friend Jana calls me up after months of not talking to me, asking me to hang out with her this weekend and that it was her on the message. Cool, I say, it's good to see a familiar face. Yesterday she leaves me a message ( Read more... )

I met a man with Alzheimer's today. I was really nice to him when I was ringing up his items. I came across two olive oil bottles of differing sizes while the man told me something about just checking the price of one and ringing up the other. I made a mistake and rang up both, and he paid for both of them. He came back a half hour later and kindly ( Read more... )

I watched the leak cell phone video of Saddam's death. Maybe I'm a little sensitive about these things, but it made me kind of sad to see him die. I think it's because he was an old man and I have a thing for old people in wanting to take care of them. He was a bad man and he deserved what he got, but I can't help but feel a bit upset. This sounds ( Read more... )
